I haven't run numbers to quantify it, but it _feels_ like at least 50% of all email in my inbox is from one Democratic fundraising list or another, and all of _those_ assume I care about how politicians _feel_.

"wish X a happy birthday!" "Dem X is CRYING" "Repub Y is LAUGHING" "Mitch McConnell HUMILIATED" "Scott, you DON'T support Joe Biden??" fuck off with this cult of personality bullshit!

I 1000% do not care how if a Democrat is happy or sad or if a Republican is sad or happy, my politics are not built on parasocial overidentification with celebrity politicians!

anyway I don't support Democrats because I want to make trump or mcconnell sad or oppose republicans because I want to make Ocasio-Cortez happy or whatever. and relatedly, I don't think that "electing Democrats" is an end in and of itself. it's supposed to be a MEANS to an end.
